Josh Amunrud's 20th-place season came with a contender's collection of peaks. He finished in the top 10 four times, reached the podium twice and proved dangerous in everything from baseball shares to basketball totals.
The run began with 3rd in the MLB Playoffs, where the Dodgers carried his entry to 167 and returned 249 league points. His NBA card was perfect at 5-of-5, good for 9th and 243.
Then he nearly won two more boards. A Ducks stack produced 490 and a 566.67 NHL total for 2nd, while 571.4 across the golf majors, including 166.5 at The Open, earned 6th. Those two cards alone supplied 249.5 and 246 league points.
The answer to how four elite finishes became only 20th lies in the floor. His NFL Playoffs card paid only 60.5 at 190th; the World Cup returned 49.5 at 202nd. With 1644.5 points, Amunrud had enough brilliance to scare anyone and enough leakage to stay outside the season's top tier.
